Dadioflex! It's time to reach out and touch someone -- with your iPod Touch!

(Sorry. I could not resist the temptation.)

Yes, I have a very shallow sense of humor.

(Here's the Time magazine review. Hey, would they lie? And you can buy it for only $2.99 at the Kindle store.)

COCAINE AND BLUE EYES
by Fred Zackel;
Coward McCann & Geoghegan;
264 pages

Drugs and thugs, a missing person and a backchatting investigator also dominate Cocaine and Blue Eyes. Fred Zackel's sprightly first novel, set mostly in the San Francisco Bay Area, combines the story of a Pacific Heights dynasty, corporate shenanigans, Chinatown gangs, a spectrum of sex, aging flower children, Mafia money and the houseboat life in Sausalito. The result is as nerve-rattling as a full-throttle auto chase from Grant Avenue to Fisherman's Wharf.

At the outset a sleazy young dope dealer vainly attempts to hire Investigator Michael Brennen to locate blue-eyed Dani, his missing girlfriend and meal ticket. Brennen has just about decided to retire from the shamus game. However, when the dealer shows up mysteriously dead, the down-at-heels p.i. takes on the posthumous assignment. Dani, it develops, belongs to a wealthy Faulknerian family held together by booze, barbiturates, bitterness, incest and greed. Brennen finally finds the girl (also mysteriously dead) and discovers that the family business is being run by a homosexual Chinatown lawyer and his epicene "nephew." The nephew is quietly siphoning off cash to finance a cocaine-smuggling operation, and the tale moves to a bewildering but believable showdown. His publisher reports that Sausalito-based Zackel is working on a second novel, which on the evidence should be as welcome as San Francisco's cracked-crab season.

(BTW, CINDERELLA AFTER MIDNIGHT was the second Brennen novel. It's also on Kindle and smashwords.)

Just re-visiting the forum as I erase my wicked past. Futile but what ya gonna do?

I did eventually buy it on Kindle and read it on my iPod Touch. Solid book with plenty of action and an old school, gritty protagonist. Really enjoyed it! Last chapter is a killer.

Thank you, dadioflex, for your generous comments! I am very gratified that you liked it so much. I confess too that it's been a while since I was here. I confess i had (mostly) given up trying to squeeze through the crowd of authors out there. Having said that ... Shamelessly (and humbly) I ask if you could write a review at Amazon. Those last three or four sentences! Wow! And again ... thank you.
